THIS ISSUE IS NOT FIXED!! Please see:
- uservoice: Selection tolerance does not apply for selecting handles and is broken for points

- forum: Can't grab bezier control points
- and many forum entries.

Please Adobe fix the tolerance of grabbing anchor points! This is vital

There are separate requests to increase the size of different UI elements:
1. Rulers: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31654114
2. Artboard captions: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33253573
There is no separate request about artboard handles though... I suggest creating a new request for it or commenting also in the #2 about it.

This works great for objects. Can you please apply the sizing to the artboard handles and artboard name label please? The artboard name label is too tiny on a 32" 4K monitor.

Still sucks. I can't fix in prefs.

This has not been fixed. The handles are nearly impossible to grab and it has brought my business to a halt. My system software and adobe software are completely up to date as of Jan. 2022. Please carefully read my attachment;

Changing the size of points/handles is pointless since the tolerance for handles stays at 1 pixel all the time anyway. This is a bug.

Still broken particularly on Windows.

This one seems to have come back, I am finding that curve handles are only grabbable with my Wacom stylus in the very center pixel, no matter how large I’ve set the curve handles to display. I’m currently on 24.1.2 , I’m waiting for 24.2.1 to fix some issues I’ve been hearing about losing basic functions on 24.2.0 before upgrading.

Need to make the artboard number/name label bigger also. At 5K res its so tiny and when you have three screens you have to lean in to see it if its on the left monitor.

I don't think that increasing the size of these anchor points is a solution. The solution is to see WHEN the software will REALLY grab the bezier handle by changing the cursor. Here are some gifs showing the problem and, in my opinion, the solution : https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-feature-requests/suggestions/37709080-show-a-different-cursor-on-bezier-point-and-add-t

Hi Ben,
To change the anchor points and handles, go to > Preferences > Selection &anchor display (in Mac version). Hopefully you have a recent version of Illustrator.

I hope that helps.

OK so you have a fix, but how do you do it? where is it in preferences?

Still sucks. I can't fix in prefs. Please, please make it work like it did in CS5.

You can change handle size in Illustrator preferences.

PLEASE do something about the hadlesize! The frustation is real!!

I've already updated and it is still a problem. Please put it back to how it was on cs5. Thanks

new problem now with the adjustable node size, I am unable to select the node I want if there are other nearby nodes. Cursor ends up picking up other nearby nodes instead of the one Im TRYING to select. whats up with that?

You have adde the ability to increase control handles for white and black artow, but other controls are still too small , like live corners, curvature tool points and smart guide ui..... I guess you wil fix this in another 10 years, yes please😂

Also there still persist a bug. Then you enables smart guides selection tolerance and snap to point preference value gets overriten by snapping tolerance value.

good work

Hi Lori,

The only workaround is not to use similar colour to the handles or go to isolate mode.
